Magnet Forensics wins 2026 Globee® Award for cybersecurity innovation in incident analysis and response

April 2, 2026

By Darcey Hilliard

Magnet Forensics has been named a winner in the 2026 Globee® Awards for Cybersecurity, recognized for its innovation and leadership in forensic-grade remote incident analysis and response.

We’re holding AI to a standard to which we’ve never held humans

March 20, 2026

By Darcey Hilliard

Digital forensic investigators face extreme pressure to deliver accurate results. The stakes in the field are especially high; an error could mean overlooking potential suspects or missing exculpatory evidence . That’s why the use of artificial intelligence in the field isn’t without controversy. Broader societal concerns around the “hallucinations” and inconsistent results produced by generative AI have raised questions about the use of AI in digital forensic investigations.

Shrinking the digital evidence haystack

March 20, 2026

By Darcey Hilliard

The proliferation of digital data and connected devices has had a profound impact on forensic investigations, straining laboratory resources, pressuring budget-conscious jurisdictions to spend more on technology, and worsening evidence backlogs.

Why human validation matters—and why fear doesn’t help 

March 20, 2026

By Darcey Hilliard

There appears to be a growing tension in digital forensics around artificial intelligence. On one side are people excited by what AI can already do—surface patterns at scale, accelerate triage, highlight anomalies no human would realistically find. On the other side are voices urging extreme caution or outright prohibition, often framed as a need to “protect the human element.”

From “nice to have” to necessity: Why digital forensics matters more than ever

January 22, 2026

By Darcey Hilliard

One truth I’ve been emphasizing a lot lately at conferences and talks is just how important digital forensics has become. When I first started in this field over 20 years ago with the Metro Nashville Police Department, digital forensics was more of a nice-to-have. If we could get to a phone or computer, great—it might help move a case along. But it wasn’t considered essential.

Preserving evidence in the age of inactivity timers: When time becomes the threat

December 16, 2025

By Darcey Hilliard

The pace of change in mobile technology is relentless, and with each new mobile OS release, digital investigators face fresh challenges in preserving and accessing vital evidence. The recent introduction of reboot timers in mobile operating systems has become an urgent race against time.

UK Cyber Security & Resilience Bill: How investigative teams can prepare today

December 9, 2025

By Darcey Hilliard

The UK government’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill marks one of the most significant updates to the UK’s national cyber legislation in years. It reflects the reality that cyberattacks are now an operational certainty, and organizations, especially those supporting critical services, must be able to detect, investigate, and respond to incidents far more quickly and transparently than before. 

Why digital forensics became mission-critical for federal agencies

November 14, 2025

By Darcey Hilliard

Federal crimes now have a huge digital component which has transformed the breadth and scope of investigations. While interviews, surveillance, and physical evidence remain essential, the most decisive insights often come from digital evidence. Computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices can expose criminal networks, uncover insider threats, and reveal national security risks.

Bringing human traffickers to justice with Magnet Forensics

November 4, 2025

By Phil Froklage

Human trafficking is no longer confined to the shadows of the physical world. It now infiltrates nearly every corner of cyberspace. Traffickers can exploit victims through mobile devices, social media, gaming platforms, and encrypted messaging apps. Today, almost every criminal investigation has a digital component. But every text, image, and video leaves behind a trail of evidence that can reveal the full scope of a human trafficking incident—if investigators have the right tools to help them.
